Abstract

It is needed to develop an antenna with features of subminiature, light weight and multi-band operation for the variaty services in maritime and industrial fields. The PCB pattern antenna is one of the appropreiate antennas solving these requirements. In this research, the design and fabrication of the PCB pattern antenna operating on the single band of 920 MHz are investigated. The final goal is that the development of the dual band PCB pattern antenna operating on 260 MHz and 920 MHz, which is based on the proposed antenna. It is evident that the performance in the frequencies of 902 MHz, 915 MHz and 928 MHz among of 920 MHz ISM band is better than that in other frequencies. It is also confirmed that the differences of the voltage standing wave ratio, return loss, gain and efficiency between three frequencies are less than 5%. It is expected that the development of communication link of 5-10 km is possible when the induced results are applied into the low power wide area (LPWA) network desinged by the rule of -30 dB sensitivity.

해상 및 산업 현장의 다양한 IoT 서비스를 위한 시스템에 필수불가결한 장치인 안테나 개발에 있어 초소형, 경량 및 다중 대역 동작이 요구된다. 이러한 요구를 반영할 수 있는 대표적인 안테나의 한 종류가 PCB 패턴 안테나이다. 본 연구에서는 920 MHz 단일 대역 PCB 패턴 안테나의 설계 및 제작에 대하여 살펴보았다. 제안된 920 MHz 단일 대역 안테나의 PCB 패턴을 260 MHz 대역에서도 동작하도록 수정 보완하여 이중 대역 PCB 패턴 안테나를 제작하는 것이 최종 목표이다. 본 연구를 통해 920 MHz의 ISM 대역 중 902 MHz, 915 MHz와 928 MHz에서 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 전압 정재파비, 반사 손실, 이득과 효율 등의 주파수별 차이가 5% 미만이었다. 이러한 결과를 -30 dB의 수신 감도를 갖는 LPWA (low power wide area) 네트워크에 적용하면 최소 5-10 km의 통신 링크 구축이 가능할 것으로 예측할 수 있다.
